The material of the ring, especially the part outside the band, felt cool to the touch and gleamed under the light. Xu Xiaoyue took it and gently stroked it. The silver dragon pattern was smooth, with no trace of inlay, as if it were a single piece. The moment she held it, Xu Xiaoyue wanted to buy one for Chen Ruilong, but at seven million yuan... he wasn't worth it!
"Hey, have you seen enough? If you have money, buy it. If not, hurry up and leave."
"Why are you in such a hurry? The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is."
Xu Xiaoyue glanced at her. The video call had been connected, and Su Mojin's voice came through.
"What happened just now, Xiaoyue? What's going on?"
Su Mojin didn't know what had happened. She seemed to have heard someone telling Xu Xiaoyue to leave, and then the screen shook, and the call was hung up.
Su Mojin's voice was pleasant and soft, and just her voice made several men near the second floor turn their heads slightly.
"It's nothing, just a bunch of people who look down on others. None of that matters. Take a look at this ring quickly. If you think it's good, let's go with it."
Xu Xiaoyue didn't care about what had just happened. The most important thing now was to help Su Mojin pick out a ring.
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue's sarcastic remarks, the second boss couldn't sit still. If it weren't for the woman next to her, she would have probably told the other person to get lost long ago. So what if they could afford it? This was her store. She could just refuse to sell to them. What was there to be so proud of?
"Okay, let me see!"
Su Mojin leaned forward slightly, bringing her face closer to the screen. When she saw the ring, Su Mojin's eyes gradually lit up, and little stars twinkled in them. This ring did seem quite good – smooth, understated, and perfect for her husband.
Soon, a decision was made.
"This one it is. Go pay, Xiaoyue. How much is it?"
So she wasn't paying for it! The people around exchanged glances.
"Seven million six hundred and eighty thousand!"
"Mhm!"
Su Mojin simply responded with a soft "mhm" and turned to transfer the money to Xu Xiaoyue. Soon, a transfer message appeared on Xu Xiaoyue's phone: 768 followed by four zeros.
"Someone, I want to pay!"
Once the money arrived, Xu Xiaoyue's spirits immediately lifted. She called out to the store clerks to wrap up the ring.
"What's there to be so proud of? It's not like you're buying it, you're just running errands."
Xiao Dan muttered, but she still wrapped the item herself and helped adjust the size. Seven million yuan, she wondered if the commission would count towards her, but she figured it was unlikely.
Taking the item, Xu Xiaoyue paid without hesitation. After this matter was settled, it was time for the real business.
"Xiaojin, what do you do if your best friend is bullied?"
After putting the item away, Xu Xiaoyue said softly to Su Mojin on the phone.
Everyone around was stunned. What was she planning to do? Was she going to retaliate? What a joke. Everyone here was a boss worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions. The second boss's background was even more formidable, rumored to be backed by a prominent family in Kyoto. Did this young girl really think buying a ring worth over seven million yuan would allow her to go toe-to-toe with the second boss?
The second boss also frowned, not understanding where this young girl got her confidence from, just based on the friend on the phone?
She found a chair and sat down. Today, she wanted to see how this young girl would get her revenge.
"Sister Zhang, come sit. Since the person is gone anyway, I want to have a showdown with this little girl today."
She had someone bring a chair for her, and the second boss sat down with Sister Zhang behind her. Sister Zhang's expression was subtle; she tilted her head slightly, her ears perked up, carefully listening to Su Mojin's voice on the other end of Xu Xiaoyue's phone call. The second boss didn't notice this unusual behavior.
"Who bullied you?"
Su Mojin's expression froze. She had felt something was wrong just now, and now it seemed Xu Xiaoyue had been bullied. Su Mojin immediately became angry.
Su Mojin rarely got angry. This could be seen even when they were in school. Even when Liu Jiali provoked her so much, her reaction wasn't that significant. But if someone bullied Xu Xiaoyue, she definitely wouldn't allow it. Not for any other reason than how Xu Xiaoyue had protected her back in school.
"It's these people. They all rely on having a little money and want to throw me out."
Xu Xiaoyue pouted, feeling a bit helpless. It really was the disadvantage of not having money! If she had brought Chen Ruilong, even if the other party wasn't respectful to her, they certainly wouldn't have this attitude.
Xu Xiaoyue pointed the camera at the second boss. Xu Xiaoyue never claimed to be a good person. Since the second boss dared to treat her that way just now, she was determined to retaliate. Moreover, she knew that dealing with this second boss would be a piece of cake for her best friend.
"Little girl, don't go too far. Do you really think that woman on your phone can do anything to me? Does she know who I am?"
Seeing Xu Xiaoyue pointing the camera at her, the second boss also stood up, her gaze fixed on Xu Xiaoyue.
Who are you? I don't care who you are. No matter how powerful you are, you're not as powerful as my best friend's husband!
When it comes to background, you're not even qualified to compare with my best friend! Xu Xiaoyue snorted in her heart.
On the video, Su Mojin's expression was extremely angry. She had inadvertently noticed that Xu Xiaoyue's clothes were torn. They were fine before, but in the time it took to hang up the call, they were ripped. Something must have happened.
"Alright, tell me who you are. I'm listening. If my best friend made a mistake in your store today, I'll apologize to you on her behalf. But if you dare to bully my best friend, then this matter won't be so easily resolved."
Su Mojin's voice came from the phone, her tone slightly cold, even carrying a hint of authority, though her voice remained pleasant and melodious.
If it weren't for the words she spoke, one might not even realize Su Mojin was angry. This was Su Mojin's way; even when angry, she appeared very gentle to others.
Su Mojin's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but this time Zhang Qin truly heard it clearly. It was the young madam's voice.
Why was the young madam here? And why was she sending a woman to buy a ring? Wait... the ring just now seemed to be a men's style. Could it be...
Zhang Qin suddenly thought of a possibility. Good heavens, could it be for the young master!
Then just now...
"You little brat, I think you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you know that this store is part of Shun Chang Group... Sister Zhang, why are you pulling me..."
